An innovative and accessible interpretation of Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount

In this groundbreaking new book, distinguished author and scholar Glen Stassen opens the Sermon on the Mount to an entirely new interpretation. He shows that this body of teachings is actually a plan for helping Christians live in a way more closely aligned with God’ s message of grace and deliverance from the vicious cycles in which we so often get stuck. Making a difficult set of Christian principles not just accessible but entirely possible, Stassen interprets each of the 14 teachings to show that they are initiatives we can use to begin to participate in the way of grace.
